Retirement Brings Most a Big Health Boost

The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger,a new
European study suggests.
This happy news was true of almost everyone except a small minority一only 2 percent一who had experi-
enced"ideal"conditions in their working life,anyway.
"The results really say three things:that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers,that
the effects of this extra burden are largely relieved by retirement and,finally,that both the extra burden and
the relief are larger when working conditions are poor,"said Hugo Westerlund,lead author of a study pub-
lished online Nov. 9 in The Lancet（柳叶刀）." This indicates that there is need to provide opportunities for
older workers to decrease the demands in their work out of concern for their health and well-being."
But of course,added Westerlund,who is head of epidemiology at the Stress Research Institute at
Stockholm University in Sweden,"not all older workers suffer from poor perceived health.Many are indeed
remarkably healthy and fit for work.But sooner or later,everyone has to slow down because of old age catch-
ing up."
Last week,the same group of researchers reported that workers slept better after retirement than before.
"Sleep improves at retirement,which suggests that sleeping could be a mediator between work and perception
of poor health,"Westerlund said.
This study looked at what the same 15,000 French workers,and most of them had to say about their own
health up to seven years pre-retirement and up to seven years post-retirement.
As participants got closer to retirement age,their perception of their own health declined,but went up
again during the first year of retirement.
Those who reported being in poorer health declined from 19.2 percent in the year prior to retirement to
14.3 percent by the end of the first year after retiring. According to the researchers,that means post-retire-
ment levels of poor health fell to levels last seen eight years previously.
The changes were seen in both men and women,across different occupations,and lasted through the first
seven years of not punching the clock.
Workers who felt worse before retirement and had lower working conditions reported greater improve-
ments as soon as they retired,the team found.
选项 Europe is aging faster than most other parts of the globe.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned
答案C
解析从第一段“The self-reported health of the newly retired improves so much that most feel eight years younger…”可知，调查显示大部分刚退休的人健康状况都有所好转，他们声称自己 年轻了8岁。因此该句正确。
从第三段“… that work puts an extra burden on the health of older workers…”可知，工作给 年龄大的人带来额外负担，并且对他们的健康有很大影响，因此不能像要求年轻人一样要求他 们。故该句不正确。
该句文中未提及。通读本文发现，作者未提到老年工作者和年轻工作者相处的话题。
该句文中未提及。文中并未提到欧洲人是否比其他地方的人老得快。
根据第六段“… most of them had to say about their own health…”可知，该研究针对的是 退休前和退休后的老年人对自己的健康状况的自述，因此该句正确。
从第六段可知，该调查是对法国老人健康的调查，因此该句不正确。
该句文中未提及。文章中未提到这项研究的发现是否适用于全世界。
